The Matchaah! Story:
Born from a discovery of matcha tea on a trip, our founder fell in love with the health and functional benefits from the first sip. He loved the clean energy and the mental clarity known as the infamous “calm alertness” experience only found in matcha tea. Getting all the nutrients and powerful antioxidants of matcha tea would otherwise require consuming multiple foods, beverages or supplements. Realizing the preparation of matcha tea was time consuming — involving the ancient Japanese ritual of whisking tea — he knew the pace of modern life would require more convenience. So to continue to get the unparalleled benefits of matcha, he set out to find a fun, flavorful and convenient way to enjoy matcha tea. This was the a-ha moment that started it all.
As he surveyed the beverage aisles, he saw dozens of new beverages flooding the market — with claims of clean energy, metabolism boosting, mega doses of antioxidants and more. Yet the labeling didn’t clearly communicate the specific benefits and exact number of antioxidants - none could meet the level of antioxidants and functional powers of matcha tea. He set out to produce a convenient line of matcha tea products anyone could enjoy — whether they like tea or not. He wanted to compress centuries of tea culture and great-tasting beverages in formats people already knew and loved. MATCHAAH!TM was born.
NEWS:
Premium MATCHAAH!® Tea-Based Products Now Available at Hundreds of Retailers Across Midwest
Aug 03, 2017
OTC Disclosure & News Service
-
Matchaah, Inc. (OTC:MCHA) , a transcendent company in the consumer drink industry, today announced it has new distribution agreements with several new retailers to carry and sell its MATCHAAH!® line of premium matcha tea-based products. Consumers can now find and purchase the products at hundreds of retail locations throughout the Midwest and on Amazon.
“In the last few weeks we’ve seen a wide variety of retailers, from upscale supermarkets to traditional grocery chains and even convenience stores, embrace our product line. They’re also buying into our mission of bringing premium matcha tea to the masses in formats they know and in flavors they love, and helping consumers think, live and play better,” said Paul Henson, founder and CEO of Matchaah. “We want consumers to see just how incredibly tasty matcha tea can be, and how convenient it can be to get their daily doses of focus, antioxidants and other health benefits. We’re just getting started, and can’t wait to bring more products to the market in the months ahead.”
This distribution announcement continues a wave of momentum for Matchaah, Inc. Earlier this week, Matchaah announced its debut as a publicly traded company. New deals with more distributors are in the works to help bring MATCHAAH!® products to the masses through restaurants, coffee shops, health food stores and other traditional and non-traditional retail channels. One of those deals, with a large multi-state regional convenience store distributor, will supply schools, institutions and other unique channels to bring matcha tea into retail channels it’s never been in before. Matchaah plans to introduce other products into the market over the next few months – and already has purchase orders in hand from distributors for some of those products.
The following MATCHAAH!® products are available to consumers:
MATCHAAH!® Shots – They are the first-ever “ready-to-drink” matcha tea products on the market. Available in 2.5-ounce containers and in raspberry, lemon-lime and blueberry flavors.
MATCHAAH!® Instant Latte – New this month, it’s an instant premium matcha tea blend and the perfect alternative to a coffee latte. Simply add to hot water, stir and enjoy.
Traditional matcha tea has been enjoyed for centuries and is known as a potent source of antioxidants and polyphenols that have been linked to a wide range of health benefits. According to MatchaSource.com, matcha tea has 137 times more antioxidants than regularly brewed green tea, and one cup of it is the nutritional equivalent of 10 cups of regularly brewed green tea. Also, according to OrganicFacts.com, matcha tea:
Helps prevent various medical conditions including bacterial, fungal and viral infections
Prevents the proliferation of malignant cancer cells, and assists in the reducing the risk of developing various cancers such as bladder cancer and colorectal cancer
Boosts metabolism and reduces cholesterol
Helps maintain cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health
Contains more of the polyphenol ECGC than any other green tea, an extremely healthful component with many benefits – especially counteracting the effects of stress
Boosts energy without caffeine-related side effects found in coffee and other drinks
Improves mental alertness, calmness and clarity
Despite these remarkable health benefits, traditional matcha tea hasn’t achieved mass adoption for two primary reasons. First, it’s an acquired taste; it’s known as pungent and grassy. Second, preparing it requires a lengthy and often labor-intensive process.
MATCHAAH!® products have transcended the traditional matcha tea category and now appeal to tea drinkers and non-tea drinkers alike. They pair the elements and health benefits of matcha tea with simple ingredients and new taste profiles to create innovative flavor experiences. They also deliver those experiences through a variety of convenient formats that people already know and love – in ready-to-drink and ready-to-mix formats.

Minneapolis, MN -
Formed in September, 2016 Matchaah, Inc. develops, markets, sells and distributes premium better-for-you matcha tea based products under its overarching brand MATCHAAH(R). As both a dynamic company and brand, Matchaah is led by an accomplished and visionary team of consumer goods experts - ranging from retail category management, new brand development and launch, foodservice distribution and marketing to supply chain management and finance.
For the uninitiated, matcha tea is an antioxidant powerhouse that is shade-grown, typically in Japan. The hand-picked green tea leaves are de-stemmed by hand, then stone ground into a fine powder and are consumed as powder to deliver all of the nutrients and antioxidants packed into this vibrant leaf, including the powerful antioxidant catechins and EGCg's known for a wealth of health benefits. Matcha tea also produces an extraordinary functional benefit known as "the famed matcha calm alertness effect" that has made this sought after and used for centuries; which is one of the attributes contributing to the rapid growth in the U.S., market, as consumers seek out natural alternatives to functional benefits such as energy. The naturally occurring caffeine in matcha works with its rare amino L-theanine to provide this "calm alertness", which is a mental clarity that feels like energy without the typical caffeine buzz. However, until now, in order to be prepared for consumption, the matcha tea powder has required extensive work in the form of an intensive whisking and sifting process where the powder being methodically and precisely added with water through a sifter using a specialty whisk and the proper technique to produce the correct consistency in the beverage. To eliminate this labor intensive step, Matchaah's proprietary process allows Matchaah to bring matcha tea to the masses by making it easy to enjoy all the healthful benefits in convenient product formats and in a wide range of flavors, requiring no preparation.
Even as a nascent beverage leader, as a market-leading force, Matchaah transcends the tea category with a diverse and growing product line in which the company combines this antioxidant powerhouse and healthy super-food (which contains more than ten times the anti-oxidants of traditional green tea and 137 times the EGC's) with existing drink and food product categories that consumers know and love. The Matchaah product line consists of products that will launch in both emerging and high-growth retail categories, foodservice and specialty distribution channels, as well as currently stagnant categories struggling with a lack of innovation.
Matchaah, Inc., a Minnesota corporation, the wholly owned subsidiary of Matchaah Holdings, Inc., is headquartered in Minneapolis. As stated Matchaah, Inc., was founded in September of 2016 and decided to enter the U.S. capital markets through a reverse takeover of a publicly traded company ("RTO"
. That publicly traded company was Gear International, Inc.

(the "Reorganization"

(the successor public issuer).
Simultaneously with the Reorganization and as part of the RTO, the shareholders of Matchaah, Inc. entered into a share exchange agreement with Matchaah Holdings, Inc. and Matchaah, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Matchaah Holdings, Inc.

Shareholders who would have held fewer than 100 shares following the reverse split were rounded up to 100 shares and fractional shares were rounded up to the next full share. Following the RTO and completion of these transactions, Matchaah, Holdings, Inc. became the successor publicly traded issuer, with 50,062,527 shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value, issued and outstanding.
